AARP: AARP and AARP Foundation will expand research on older adults’ access to SNAP and use this research to improve SNAP enrollment rates for older adults, which still lag behind other populations.Pillar 1 – Improve Food Access and Affordability Today, the White House announces a historic package of new actions that business, civic, academic, and philanthropic leaders will take to end hunger and to reduce diet-related disease. Over $4 billion will be dedicated toward philanthropy that improves access to nutritious food, promotes healthy choices, and increases physical activity. At least $2.5 billion will be invested in start-up companies that are pioneering solutions to hunger and food insecurity. These range from bold philanthropic contributions and in-kind donations to community-based organizations, to catalytic investments in new businesses and new ways of screening for and integrating nutrition into health care delivery. Across the whole of society, Americans responded – and advanced more than $8 billion in private- and public-sector commitments. That’s why, this summer, the White House launched a nationwide call to action to meet the ambitious goals laid out by the President.
The Conference will lay out a transformational vision for ending hunger and reducing diet-related disease by 2030 – all while closing disparities among the communities that are impacted most.Īchieving our goals will require more than just the resources of the federal government.
Today, for the first time in more than half a century, President Biden is hosting the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health to catalyze action for the millions of Americans struggling with food insecurity and diet-related diseases like diabetes, obesity, and hypertension.
